The Glover Creek School District was organized formally in June 1944 and, as of the following year, a one-room schoolhouse operated at the southwest corner of SW4-42-25W in the Rural Municipality of Mountain. The school closed permanently in June 1967 and the district was dissolved. Its catchment area became part of the Swan Valley School Division.
Among the teachers of Glover Creek School were Don Cowan (1945) and Helen Moshenko.
